    Cozy TV Schedule is On Titan TV

    This is cozis first week schedule looks like mostly PD (Public Domain) shows until the 31st. The reason that some shows may have different musuc is that they are PD meaning no one own the rights so anyone can broadcast them or sell them on DVD. The music however is often still under coptright...

    Looking for Installer in Quad Cities, Ia.

    The Shaw direct install went OK. I had it about 90% done when he got here. I had the dish assembled- you will need one of their special ones I got the bigger of the two offered and getting 95% signal out of 100. Currently waiting for porgrammes to appear! The unit I ordered is dual tuner so it...

    GeosatPro Micro HD

    I did not buy one of these since I saw no one syaing that this would actually do something that my AZBox does not, although it appears as if there are some things it can do better (not all being features I would use). Plus it was stated that it can NOT do 4.2.2 video that the AZBox does do.I use...

    Looking for Installer in Quad Cities, Ia.

    I live just an hour drive SE of the QCA. Hopefully today the guy who installed my big dish is coming over to align my just arrived Shaw direct dish. I have it all put together and up on a mount and am using my old Bell cables to go inside the house, so the time consuming stuff is all done. I...

    GeosatPro Micro HD

    I have not had any stutter of freezes on these feeds. The problem encountered is with the audio on the AZBox it comes donw as 8 seperate tracks and one can choose one of 4 different pairings of these to listen to, none of whihc are "right". I have been told one can somehow record the feeds...

    List of ZK/FK Channels you can get with MapMaster?

    Does the $68 you mention include the cost of a computer capable of running the programme? I have an older Mac laptop as well as an Aplle II and I do not think the programme will work on either of them.

    GeosatPro Micro HD

    A few days back asked what this can get that the AZBOx can not and what the AZBox can get that this cant. Only reply appears to be that this can not do 422 which the AZBox can and so far there have seen no mentions of anything this can get that the AZBox can not get. If there is nothing in this...

Or listen to...

    91W NIMIQ 6 completely active now....footprint changed

    This does not bode well for me. I have had a Bell 5100 receiver in the People's Republic of Illinois (where our governors make our licence plates) for about 10 years now. About a 2.5 hour drive SW of Chicago. Earlier today I noticed a number of channels have been getting the dreaded Error Your...

    North American Channel List as of December 31

    This may wind up requiring a new thread but I think it may just be something I can's accomplish here. The only cables that are plugged into my TV come from assorted sat receivers, betamaxes, a laser disc and a DVD player. There is no internet on my TV. The internet is wireless- there is an...

    North American Channel List as of December 31

    No luck yet on finding those programmes for a MAc- a google search gave me another thread here that did not reveal anything- any ideas where to look? I tend to find very little that will work on my computer since most things these days are designed for Mac useres who have succumbed to OS X...

    North American Channel List as of December 31

    Thanks for the link. Downloaded the files and from my brief perusal of them it appears that in order to do this one will need to have the AzBox connected to a Windows PC on a network. Correct me if I am wrong. If this is the case then I will not be able to do the chgane since I have a Mac...

    North American Channel List as of December 31

    Once one downloads these files and unzips them how does one get them into the AZBox? I have done firmware upgrades but never figured out anything with the channel lists, the fact I never got a useres manual with the device has not helped in that respect.

    New azbox software out

    Was wondering if anyone who has a realtibely new version of the firmware knows if they have fixed the two big bugs i found with the device. 1) you cant get stereo sound out of it unless you use an external ac-3 decoder. 2) on certain feeds such as ABC on G4 all the blacks are dark grey...

    TIVO to FTA?

    There are also Tivo like devices that are hard to find, that are better than a Tivo since they do not require any subscription and they will work with a FTA or 4DTV sat receiver. These things are very hard to find. The one model you can sometimes find currently is the Magnavox 2160A- It has a...

    New Satellite TV and Radio Stations

    Few random thoughts here. You may want to check out getting some progarmming from other Englah speaking countries. They do make a few shows in Canada that are never shown here (although by and large the Canadian TV networks leach off the America ones) and there are many Australian and Britich...

    I tried it last night, since it did solve one of my major issues with the unit I did a report / review in a thread dealing with that issue: http://www.satelliteguys.us/2024639-post31.html

    coolsat 8.1K ?

    OK this has lots more questions. Is the RS 232 the same type of serial that one uses to connect the computer to a modem or a printer? Where does one get the CSUpgrade_v3.01.zip programme and the Clear_sw(HD).bin file? Are these programmes something that ones needs a Windows computer to...
